Moving In, Taking Possession

What could be more uplifting and utterly

liberating than aspiring to find a home

away from repression, exploitation and

persecution and finally accessing that dream

of freedom, liberty theirs at last, the freedom

to do as they will, given equal treatment to

those whose home they have entered freely

able to access all the emoluments lacking

before, content in the knowledge that a 

social safety net will generously reach out

for their personal welfare, and all is well.

There, in that new home, not only may they

rearrange the furniture to suit their aesthetic

but rely on a fair justice system based on logic

and human rights to share and revel in. The

inner rage that propelled them to leave their

land of birth replaced with a rage against others

from the wellspring of deep immersion in the

culture left behind where now too they may

express their anomie and contempt for the

tribe responsible for all the ills of the world.

And they march with vociferous energy to

express the divisive hate they regurgitate on

occasions when the Jews draw the news of the

day responding to sadistic slaughter imposed

by the liberating champions they admire and

promote in their safe, distant and free homes.
